unrealdark's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[awe of things forgotten]

Really nice!

Great entrace for an ambient song. Silent but still pleasureable. I personally loved those kicks, almost sounds like heartbeats. Great background pad going on trough the whole song. But still even when it is ambient, it could've used a little more power, and the varation in this song was low. To explain that, I mean there is only a pad/kick/openhat/synth/other sample's going on. You could have filled it with a piano, or other change in atmosphere. But even then this song sounds fine to me, and reminds me of a game I played earlier ago... It had the same vibe and ambient feeling going on. Also repitivness is fine as long as it doesn't go on too long to get bored. In this case that wasn't the deal, but IMO it could've used some more as described above. Other than that this is a great ambient track! It kept me interested till the end so that's why you deserve my 5/5 10/10. Keep your producing up, you got the musians beast within you. Just let it free.

PeckaPrime responds:

Thanks man, i appreciate the review.
Yeah there's not much variation, and the track is pretty repetitive, i agree. It definetely needs more effort put into it (i made it in 2 days), hey you noticed at 2.48 when that voice comes in backed with that violin, the effect that does ? It sends shivers down my spine, like my body just got heavier or something. I could probably build on that with a low bass, or some EQ work, maybe that's just me though. Besides im probably not touchin this one again, i'll keep it in mind the next time i make an ambiental though.

Anyway im making a trance track now, could take weeks though, cuz lately i can't get myself to run FL studio, I'll send you a message when it's done though.

Sorry for the long response
thanks for rating and reviewing and i'll see you around

[Love Once More (Electro Rmx)]

Such a sweet vibe!

Godly track, I see why it's dance though.. can't find much trance in here, because of the strong kicks, and atmosphere of the song. Loved the Hip-Hop beats at 1:30!! However it's a shame I didn't heared them elsewhere in the track... :( Also got to wait for the vocals I guess, Pm me about that when it's done please! :D I know you will sweet NZ boy. ;) Also I didn't knew you had a girlfriend already, means I got to speak to you as well on msn sometime more eh? :P Anyways big props for this masterpiece it's sugar sweet.
5/5 10/10

[Noisecontrollers - Venom Rmx]

Nice intro!

I love the intro with the piano, and the flute! I am real sucker for piano, and as well for ambient starts for hardstyle tracks. There are a few who make hardstyle/nu-style tracks here, I believe the best producers for both are Pyroific, and tripzter (tripplestar). You might want to ask them about your mixing/distortion problem.
For the rest I believe it sounds fine, you just got to work on the structure. I think the best to learn that is to hear allot of hardstyle tracks, every artist does that time by time. ;) Anyways, I want to wish you the best luck on further producing, because the hardstyle genre here is on a low population! Keep them coming girl! ;D
5/5 10/10

h4rdstyle responds:

I'm glad you liked my intro. ;) I never knew there were such less artists making hardstyle here.. But I'll check the ones out you mentioned! Also I'll try to improve on my structure. Thanks for your informative review! ;D

[The Power of Sytrus - Crakle]

Hey Chloe! :D

First things firts eh? :D
I must say it's a really soothing and relaxing mellody to hear, and clearly it is already awesome that those mellody's/leads are made with Sytrus. It's such an neat plugin, you can do anything with it.. just need to get the hang of it. :)
Oh well, sweet beats I love the Open Hi-Hat, and the bass in the song, gives a nice dreamy athmosphere. I must say your collab worked out prety well, and you should be verry pround to haveSRT-M1tch as your personal teacher. :P
It's something many producers dream about, however I did not ever asked him to teach me as well... (lol) I think I will do when I am in trouble sometime. :D
Well mixed instruments fitted in perfect, it kind of let me think of being in the nature with a pool, and all kinds of birds fly across the heavenly blue sky, and I am watching the beautifull flowers that grow near the pool, while there's a bird singing in the trees. (kind of like the whistling tune in the song.) Really this made my day well, and I am not bothered anymore by my math test for tomorrow. So thank you both! Lovely song, I am in love with it for sure!
Keep up your work Chloe I trust in you, and I certainly know you'll turn out to be a great artist, maybe even better than the rest. Just keep faith in your abilities, and nothing gets in your way. You said you didn't wanted credit for it, well I do give you credit for this! I hope you will learn allot, and that this collab helped you the way it should.
Once again thanks for this piece, you and M1tch did a lovely job.

5/5 10/10

Crakle responds:

Wow long review it took 9 weeks to read it XD Yeah its very soothing i think of the same things when i lsiten to this song lol Thanks a lot im flatterd thanks for the 10 and the review...But thank SRT-M1tch instead lol really i shouldint get ANY credit in this it should be to SRT-M1tch But i did learn A LOT from this song it helped me out in FL and now i know what a fade in looks like XD

Thanks again

Cheers ~Crakle~

[[Helth & GW] - Gate to Heaven]

Good collab you guys!

Well variated song, and a well build up structure. However the ending lacked in my oppinion where the sounds go to a kind of maxed out volume. The volume did not changed to that high elsewhere in the song so so why there? I would rather have seen it ending by having the lead fading out in a regular way. It is my only lack in the structure of song though, the leads are crazy, and verry atractive to hear. Indeed a verry synthesized piano, I think more people would like to hear a clear and bright sounding piano. Lovely song by itself like said before it's a really ballanced and well variated song, great job on that. Intro is good and keeps the listner to wonder what would happen next. I think it's Top worthy only not on the 1 to 5th place. I'm sorry to say that but I cannot lie.
Overall lovely melody and quite danceable track, I love the clubby kick.

5/5 9/10

gamerworld14 responds:

wow... thanks for the criticism, will definitely take that in mind when creating new songs :D

thanks for the 5/5 and 9/10!

[Yelltek - Last Day [WiP]]

Good work!

I love the way you start the song with such an ambient feeling.
And throughout that ambient athmosphere you start buildng up the structure, and I love the way the leads came in! Good work so far, keep it up and you'll have a wonderfull Top song for sure, just song variation would do fine.
Good work, I am impressed.

5/5 10/10

Yelltek responds:

thanks man! :D
yeah, veriation will come in the fullversion :P

[Noxid Ft. Mkh - Gomenasai]

Best Piano Play Ever!!

Really, I wouldn't rather see this as classical, atleast not when it starts with the saws and trance like kicks, at 2:00. But the piano is just abdominale! This is the best piano play I've ever heared! I actually like trance and classic music, but a mix of both is just like a dream come true by me! Awesome!! I love the whole structure of the song, and the way they were put in, it's beyond my wildest dreams.
The song really suprised me, and shocked me. I really don't know what to say, exept this is really nice. The track sounds so clear, and with no problems at all, so it's perfectly mastered. This whole track is actually without anny fault, or pot I'd like to have changed! Crazy!
5/5 10/10 + download + fav'd artist!
I'll see you again whenever you're a star. ;)

Dj-Noxid responds:

Thanks mate :D I'm quite busy now with school so it'll take a while for my next song..=/ but I try to get it asap:)

[Brando - The Beginning]

Holy crap...

This was mind blowing! This is now pronouched by me the best work of you yet!

Lovely beginning with the leads, they did streched a little longer than the one by Yelltek, it gave a nice twist. And those pumping beats were sick!! Adrenaline rushed through my veins! God, great piano straight from heaven, you got to tell me wich one that is, and how you EQ'ed it. Probably from ReFX-Nexus, grand-piano perhaps? Ah well, you changed the leads perfectly, you gave them your own twist! And that's what a 'real' remix is about, the change of melody! And not some kind of copied melody and beat, with only another lead. You my son (not fo real XD) did it perfect! I cannot think about any down-sizes. That may be the reason why this review is so short, and full of compliments. Awesome job, my full 10/10 belong to you, and the 5/5 also. You've deserved it, and I can hear from the greatness you did sure put allot of effort in it. Wonderfull song! I can always tell more compliments on msn if you like. :P Because for now I am all astonished by this track.

-Ian

Dj-Brand0 responds:

Hey Ian!

Really glad you liked :D And sure is my best work. yeah it's like the one by Yelltek but I reckon, I change it was changed too much for it to be a remix. Yeah the leads were good, not too heavy although at some points i think the melody is jumbled up. It's not EQ'd because well it lags too much for me to even get it right. And for starters I can't EQ good in the first place lol.
The piano was Popkeys. Just below grand piano.
Yeaahhhh...

Hahaha yeah thanks heaps man. I'm um... flattered :D
True greatness :D xD

-Cheers Brando

[Living In A Dream World (Ver2)]

Goddamn!

And I thought i've heared only the best on Newgrounds here... I got to take that back and replace you for it!
I've heared about 3 of your songs now, and I see you're a well skilled artist both in making songs, but also for the right effect and athmosphere. Your songs do not belong here, they do belong to a record company or to a label! You might want to consider yourself to be playing your own songs somewere? Not to intent you should, you probably got more in life-style than just producing (Not to mean dinking with your lads :)). to me your songs are GODLY tracks. I've recently started to produce my own songs, and I now see how hard it actually is to produce something good out of your heart.
I love this piano play, it's so crystal clear, and the crowds do make it more alive, and more eneretic to hear. Also the leads, and the lovely hard bass is just abdominale! All I could say to this, is it's 100% perfect, as all other songs of yours. I got mind blowed by them, and since this short notice of you, I've already put you on fav'd artist. Also my score does not lie, I normally give simple ten's to people who I know and think are good.. damn, it's so easylie to give ten's here. But I want you to know, this 10/10 will never defeat anny other song, also this 10/10 represents your other songs as well.
And my 5/5 is for you to take in the pocket, and think about it whatever you want, but it'll never been the intenttion to let you notice this was just a simple 5 you've earned, NO it is because you deserve it in the right of your inner being!
Please produce more, and keep me astonished man, please!
And never forget this review!
-Ian

Equation responds:

Thanks Ian, that is by far the best review I've ever had. I wasn't going to finish this track but I will now, I'll post it on here when It's finished, I've been makin music for years now, over 8 years I think, my cousin will be singing on some of my future songs so hopefully i'll get somewhere with it one day (fingers crossed lol) I'll make sure to check out your upcoming tracks and if you ever need any help/advice just ask mate :)

[Last Time]

Whoa!!

Awesome song! And your first already!!
I think this one is already above the regular Newgrounds standards. Good use of transitions, mixing elements, and instruments they blended really nice together.
Nice smooth and catchy melody that grabed my mind at the beginning, I just couldn't wait to hear the next notes. Nice cracky bass, from the Vengeance pack I suppose? Only one thing could be better instead of fading in the sound at 0:36 you also could add a nice quick snare roll, or DNB like loop. And well 1 vocal doesn't makes this song so bad at all the 'come! (*whispering*) at 1:13 was really nice! Lovely leads, and synths! Good progressive pad. Everything is perfect actually exept as described above. I hope you can dig my review, and would only see this review as constructive, and not negative at all. If so it was NOT my intenttion to do that.
Once again this piece really soothed my ears, thanks.
5/5 10/10.
Good luck on the further producing of your 'masterly' pieces

- Ian (DJ-PHX)

Dj-Noxid responds:

Thank mate :). First of all I still wanted to edit this song a little but i thought it is nice as it is now. And yes the bass is from the Vengeance pack:P. I don't have alot of vocals so that is why i used the 'come' vocal.

Btw check out my other song, Happy 2009.
